Chapter 2: Feathers
In kaede's hut
General POV
"What's happening to her kaede?" whispered Sango. Kaede shook her head sadly "I don't know child, I've never come across this before," it was obviously killing the old miko that there was nothing she could do. Kagome had stopped screaming, but that only seemed to make things worse, at least when she was screaming they definitely knew she was alive. Now however it was hard to tell, her breathing had become so shallow you could barely even see her chest moving. Of course Inuyasha was always listening intently to her heart beat; it felt almost like if he stopped listening she would disappear.
Then she started groaning in pain, it was so quiet you wouldn't even notice. Kagome's groans gradually got louder and louder, her back began to arch, until it was almost as curved as kagome's own bow when she was about to fire. It happened slowly, first all you would notice a slight bump pushing on the fabric of the back of her shirt. Then there was a loud tearing noise. Everybody whipped their heads around at the sound that intruded in on the anxious silence. Ever so slowly, ever so gracefully something began to emerge - something that was as pale as the moon and shone like starlight but also was as dark as shadows, silky even to look at. The feathered appendages suddenly shot out (at least 6ft in diameter) to either side of the maiden's body. That body in question was growing: taller, chest larger, hips wider, and waist smaller. The raven dark hair that was splayed out behind her head steadily stretched longer, silver streaks flowing down certain strands like a waterfall. Inuyasha was still listening to kagome's heartbeat, ba-dum ba-dum ba-dum, ba-dum ba-dum, ba-dum…
"KAGOME, NO KAGOME!" Inuyasha shouted at the top of his lungs. "Inuyasha what is it, what's wrong, what happened?" exclaimed a worried, confused, and not to mention scared Shippo. "H-her heart, I CAN'T HEAR HER HEARTBEAT!" Inuyasha cried out, almost in tears (Silverkitsune: a very rare sight). Everyone was silent, shocked, stunned into immobilization. Then, like a switch being turned on everyone came back to life. However rather than panicking and running around like headless chickens as you would expect, everyone was calm. They gathered around kagome's new form, not even seeming surprized by her new looks, they gathered around her with one purpose in mind. One thought. One goal. They would not let Kagome die.
Kaede's hut: 2 hours later
Kagome POV
Everything hurt, don't get me wrong, it wasn't nearly as bad as the burn before. It just ached; her entire body was just one big ache. Her eyelids were so heavy; it was as if someone had decided it would be funny to tape lead weights to them. For half a second she considered that her brother (Sota) might have done just that, but she couldn't sense his aura. That was one idea gone. Kagome was so wrapped up in her thoughts she didn't notice that the weight that seemed to cover her senses was slowly receding. A few minutes later she started to be able to hear voices.
General POV
"HENTI!" *whack* *thud* "Sango, ye have knocked him out again."
"It's not like I..." If you're wondering why Sango didn't finish her sentence that would be because a light chuckling could be heard behind the roaring laughter of the inu-hanyou and fox demon kit sat in the corner (Silverkitsune: you would be laughing too if you saw Miroku's face). After the others were shushed they all listened intently … there it was again. A light and continuous chuckle, if starlight had a sound it would have most certainty sounded like this. The magical music was emanating from the end of the hut. Sat up on a futon was the form of a young woman with one midnight black eye and one moonlight silver eye. She had stopped chuckling when they looked at her. A long silence stretched until a tiny kitten-sized cat youki decided to congratulate kagome on her true form finally being released.
Kagome's POV
Looking around everything was so clear every grain of wood every speck of dirt. Every feeling from the group around her was clearly projected around them. The demon hunter, Sango, had a black, pink and green light, she was happy, angry and in love. The cursed monk, Miroku, had a red, pink and sickly yellow light. He was lusty, in love and hurt. Kilala the cat youki's light was just a non-intrusive green and blue, happy and calm. The kitsune, Shippo, and the hanyou, Inuyasha, had very similar lights. They both had a bright orange and green light for happiness and amusement. The only difference being that Inuyasha also had pink infused with his light symbolising he was inlove. She started to chuckle lightly at the feelings around her, the positive colours making smile. She was happy everyone felt good.
General POV
Kilala mewed softly to the angel in their presence stroking her hand with the top of her head. "Thank you, Kilala," smiled Kagome at the demon, warmth radiating from her silky tinkling voice. The rest of the group was rather surprized to say the least. Sure they had seen most of the physical changes Kagome had gone through, but they hadn't anticipated the other changes, her eyes, her voice, her entire demeanour appeared to have changed (Silverkitsune: oh boy are they in for a shock). Suddenly they were snapped from their thought because they had suddenly realised that the new Kagome sitting before them had started to have a quite in-depth conversation about demon heritage… with Kilala. "Kagome, w-what are you doing?" asked Sango quietly, extremely worried that her sister might just have lost her sanity. "Is it not obvious Sango?" "I'm talking with Kilala, after all she did ask me about my heritage," replied Kagome nonchalantly, as if she was just discussing the weather with an old friend. Everyone except Kilala and Shippo stared at the woman in front of them, mouths hanging open like fish. An extremely shocked cry came from one of the 'fishes', effectively breaking the silence, "WHAT!" shouted Inuyasha. As Inuyasha started to freak out the others slowly regained composure, "SIT! Now calm down Inuyasha," stated Kagome, "I'm sure you all have many questions so let's get them out the way now," she contained. "Are you sure? After all you only just woke up lady Kagome," said Miroku softly. "I'm fine, after all judging by the sky I've been asleep for quite some time," mussed the formerly human woman. "Okay, how are you a demon, I mean is that even possible?" queried Sango curiously. "Simple, both my parents were, and still are demons," Kagome replied simply. "It does make sense," said Sango obviously satisfied. "Why have you only awakened now?" Miroku questioned. "Hmmm, now why was it again," I can't tell the real reason, what should I say, "oh yes, my parents wanted me to experience a human and a demon life, so if it came to it I could choice to be human if I wished," improvised Kagome. "Yes that is quite common among non-royal demons" Sighed Miroku, did he want me to spill some kind of big secret or something, thought Kagome suspecting that was exactly the case. "What kind of demon are you?" asked Inuyasha out of the blue surprising Kagome so much she almost jumped out of her skin. Once she calmed down her new strange eyes became downcast, her head turning to face the one solitary window inside the modest hut. "I don't know," lied Kagome convincingly. I can't tell them. They would just push me away. I can't face that again…
Silverkitsunepup: well that's the chapter, like I said, please review. Flames are okay, but not too harsh because I'm only new. I'll try and get the next chapter up by half way through next month. See ya.
